The process of speciation allows a single species to diverge into two. Dive into the different versions of this process, including “allopatric speciation” and “sympatric speciation,” and discover how ...

Identification of genes involved in reproductive isolation opens novel ways to investigate links between stages of the speciation process. Are the genes coding for ecological adaptations and sexual ...

It has long been thought that dramatic changes in a landscape like the formation of the Andes Mountain range or the Amazon River is the main driver that initiates species to diverge. However, a recent ...

Speciation is important because it increases biodiversity. A thesis from the University of Gothenburg examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same ...

Speciation is a central and fundamental process in evolution that concerns the origin of reproductive isolation. The latest generation of genomic approaches provide remarkable opportunities to ...

Hybridization, Ecological Races and the Nature of Species: Empirical Evidence for the Ease of Speciation Hybridization, Ecological Races and the Nature of Species: Empirical Evidence for the Ease of ...

A new paper by researchers at the University of Notre Dame provides new insights into speciation, which is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. “We do this using a peculiar ...

Scientists discover at least 11 examples of sympatric speciation on Lord Howe Island. How does a single species divide into two new species? For decades, the prevailing idea among evolutionary ...

What is ecological speciation? -- Predictions and tests of ecological speciation -- A source of divergent selection -- A form of reproductive isolation -- A genetic mechanism to link selection to ...

Speciation is important because it increases biodiversity. A new thesis examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same species might evolve into two ...
